GSA is planning to open Phase II of the OASIS+ Professional Services contract on January 12, 2026, and release the draft solicitation around December 16, 2025. This is big news for professional services contractors who are looking to sell to the federal government, or are looking to expand beyond their GSA Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) contract. We are closely following the updates for Phase II, and we know there are a lot of questions out there about what this next installment of OASIS+ will look like. Let’s review FAQs and what we know about the upcoming OASIS+ Phase II so far.
How Will OASIS+ Phase II Proposals Be Evaluated?
Here's what we know so far: OASIS+ proposals will be evaluated using domain-specific Qualifications Matrices that match each domain’s unique requirements. It’s important to note that proposals are evaluated against the objective standards and not compared to other proposals. This contract is not about outside competition but rather having the proper qualifications and past performance within each domain. The key evaluation tool used is the OASIS+ Qualifications Matrix, also called the Scoring Table.
Pricing will be competed task order level amongst awardees in each of the domains. This is done in GSA eBuy, just like the MAS Program. We'll know more once the scorecard is released in the draft solicitation.
Is There a Limit on OASIS+ Phase II Awards?
There is no limit on contract awards for OASIS+. Any qualifying proposal will receive an award within their respective contracts. The solicitations will be:
- Unrestricted contract
- Small Business contract
- SBA-Certified 8(a) contract
- SBA-Certified HUBZone contract
- SBA-Certified Service-Disabled Veteran-owned contract
- SBA-Certified Women-owned contract
We’ll talk more about contracts and domains below.
How Many Domains Will Be Available in Phase II?
GSA plans to add 5 new domains in Phase II, totaling 13 domains. They will be:
- Technical and Engineering
- Research and Development
- Management and Advisory
- Environmental
- Intelligence Services
- Enterprise Solutions
- Facilities Services
- Logistics
- Business Administration (New!)
- Financial Services (New!)
- Human Capital (New!)
- Marketing and Public Relations (New!)
- Social Services (New!)
How Long is the OASIS+ Period of Performance?
OASIS+ has a total contract period of 10 years. This is broken down into one 5-year base period and an additional option period of 5 years.
Do I Need Previous Government Experience to Submit an OASIS+ Proposal?
No, the OASIS+ vehicle has a comprehensive source selection process that allows companies without prior direct federal contracting experience to apply. Commercial and state/local government experience can be used in the OASIS+ evaluation, especially under the Qualifying Project (QP) experience category.
Do I Need Relevant Experience for Each OASIS+ Domain?
No, you can submit relevant experience for the domains you are looking to propose an offer for. You can propose an offer for multiple domains, but each one is evaluated separately.
What's the Difference Between OASIS+ and MAS Program?
If you already have a GSA Schedule, or are looking to get one too, you may be wondering why you should consider OASIS+ as well. The obvious answer is the GSA Multiple Award Schedule Program is meant for a range of products and services, including professional services. OAISIS+ was designed specifically for the purpose of handling Best-in-Class non-IT services that are more complex and specialized. Additionally, OASIS+ contracts include services that are primarily noncommercial, which is a major distinction between OASIS+ and the MAS Program. However, commercial task orders are still allowed in OASIS+.
There are a few other details about the differences/similarities, which you will see throughout this blog.
Can I Submit OASIS+ Proposals Under Multiple Domains?
Yes, you can. As mentioned above, just make sure you match your past performance and other qualifications to each specific domain. You wouldn’t send the exact same cover letter to multiple companies. For example, if you are proposing under NAICS 541611 for “Domain A”, you need to demonstrate experience relevant to “Domain A’s” definition and evaluation criteria. Experience from NAICS 541611 may relate to “Domain A” and “Domain B”, but to qualify, you must submit relevant experience for each domain independently. They may have different requirements and evaluation criteria.
Can I Submit a Phase II OASIS+ Proposal as a Subcontractor?
Yes, experience as a subcontractor can be used to qualify for the OASIS+ vehicle. The solicitation will give you specific instructions on how you can use your subcontractor experience to be considered as part of a qualifying project.
Can I Submit an OASIS+ Proposal as a Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) Contractor?
Yes, you can. While both are managed by GSA, they are separate contracting vehicles. It may make sense for your company to go after both, or just stick to one, depending on your offerings and business strategy. The MAS Program offers IT and non-IT professional services through one of their 12 Large Categories. OASIS+ is a more focused vehicle and is for non-IT and highly specialized integrated services (meaning the coordinated delivery of multiple services across several domains) only. Check out our blog on GSA MAS vs. OASIS+ to learn more.
Where Do I Submit My OASIS+ Proposal?
Once Phase II is open, companies can submit their proposals on the OASIS+ specific platform called Symphony. This is a different platform from MAS, so you will need a separate log-in than GSA eOffer.
How Long Will OASIS+ Phase II Be Open?
Once Phase II of OASIS+ is open, GSA will allow for continuous proposal submissions and rolling awards, similar to how the MAS Program is set-up now. All six solicitations (listed above) will be open across the 13 domains.
Is there a Specific Timeline for OASIS+ Phase II?
GSA plans to release Phase II on January 12, 2026. The draft scorecard and pre-amendment notice are anticipated to be released on SAM.gov on December 16, 2026. All decision and timeline updates will be posted on SAM.gov, gsa.gov/OASIS-plus, and the GSA OASIS+ Interactive Community.
